The Old Gainesville Depot (also known as the Seaboard Air Line Depot or Baird Warehouse) is a historic site at 203 Southeast Depot Avenue in Gainesville, Florida. It was added to the U.S. National Register of Historic Places on November 22, 1996. Part of the Depot was built in the 19th century. A new passenger depot was built in 1910, and the old depot was moved and attached as a freight deport to the passenger depot. The depot has been restored, and painted in the same colors, and with the same style metal roof shingles, used in 1910. The freight scale in the depot has also been restored. The restored depot is part of the Depot Park being developed by the city.[2] The station is located along the Gainesville-Hawthorne Trail State Park.
